Lionel #6-17735 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hi,

I would like to know the pros and cons of this Lionel PRR round roof, double door, 40 foot, X31A, box car.

I am unable to find prototypical photos. of this car, with the same markings, etc.

This, car has NO reporting marks initials, over the road numbers, on the 'A' & 'B' ends, so I don't know if, this is another one of Lionel's foul-ups, or prototypically the car was mostly meant to run on PRR's home tracks.

I bought this car at my local hobby shop for thirty dollars, minus its' box and I checked it over carefully, as it is in excellent shape.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ralph

This has already been FULLY discussed (at least two pages) over on the 2-Rail Scale Forum. It is still on the first page, about 8 or 10 subjects down from the top. I don't know how to ling you to it, but you can't miss it. You will learn more then you ever wanted to know about those PRR X31A boxcars.
